It also features the first space rendezvous with Gemini 6 and 7.

Four orbits later, it achieves the first space rendezvous, with Gemini 7.

For a few space missions, such as those including a space rendezvous, high fidelity models of the trajectories are required to meet the mission goals.

In addition, he worked on such space technology problems as orbit calculations, reentry paths, and space rendezvous techniques.

This flight set an endurance record of fourteen days in space, and also was the target vehicle for the first space rendezvous with Gemini 6A.

Space rendezvous has been used for a variety of other purposes, including recent service missions to the Hubble Space Telescope.

Checking the new coordinates she had plotted, she expected to find a planet, or perhaps an energy signature indicating a deep space rendezvous with another ship.

The spacecraft would conduct a space rendezvous with the depot, or vice versa, and then transfer propellant to be used for subsequent orbital maneuvers.

A mission architecture for lunar exploration was developed based on four launches of medium-lift vehicles and four space rendezvous per mission.

The first objective was to attempt the first space rendezvous with the spacecraft's spent Titan II launch vehicle's upper stage.

While the film was in production, the first space rendezvous (Gemini VI and VII) took place.

This necessitates optimizing the sizing of stages in the launch vehicle as well as consideration of using space rendezvous between multiple spacecraft.

Each of the Agena target vehicles used for the later space rendezvous practice missions of Gemini was launched on an Atlas rocket.

In 1965, the United States started to achieve many firsts (such as the first successful space rendezvous), which were important steps in a mission to the Moon.

This gave the spacecraft the capability to change its orbit, required for space rendezvous and docking with another spacecraft, the Agena Target Vehicle.

The Soyuz craft ferried cosmonauts to a series of Salyut stations, and once to a 1975 docking with Apollo 18, the first international space rendezvous.

Some engineers were concerned about the risks of space rendezvous, especially in lunar orbit, where there would be no fallback options in case of a major mishap.

Orbit transfer and Space rendezvous: ConeXpress, DEOS.

A Gemini simulator shows visitors the accommodations when two people flew together to space for the first U.S. missions involving extra-vehicular activities and space rendezvous.

A third objective was for Gemini 4 to attempt the first space rendezvous, flying in formation with the spent second stage of its Titan II launch vehicle.

The flight launched successfully three days later, conducting the first manned space rendezvous with astronauts Frank Borman and James Lovell, Jr. in Gemini 7.

The satellite's tasks included testing the mini-satellite technology, observing and monitoring the spacecraft, and testing the tracking and approaching technology used for space rendezvous and docking.

This meant that the Gemini 7 spacecraft could stay in orbit for at least 100 days without its orbit degrading, more than stable enough for the passive target during a space rendezvous.

In December 1965, he piloted Gemini VI during the first rendezvous in space, and helped develop techniques to prove the basic theory and practicality of a space rendezvous.

A space rendezvous is an orbital maneuver during which two spacecraft, one of which is often a space station, arrive at the same orbit and approach to a very close distance (e.g. within visual contact).
